Happy 2016!!! There’s something magical about the start of a new year: You have 366 days (oh hey, Leap Year) of unknowns and excitement and what-ifs to look forward to. Big things are on the horizon, and there’s so much opportunity to make up for what you did or didn’t do last year. As I’ve […]

Way back in September, a young woman from the University of Florida’s graphic design program emailed us to ask if R&R would be interested in hosting 45 students who would be participating in the program’s annual voxGraphis trip in November. In her email, the student wrote about loving our values and culture and how she […]

A few weekends ago, the R&R team unplugged our laptops, used our cellphones for Kodak moments only and headed off into the mountains of Highlands, North Carolina, for some good ol’ fashioned bonding time. Although we weren’t gone for that long, we managed to accomplish a lot in terms of team spirit. Day 1 – […]

Sure it’s probably a bit cliché to write a blog about being thankful around Thanksgiving, but we’re going to do it anyways. You know why: because we have way too much to be thankful for, and if not now, then when? Sure we can post about being thankful in six months (which isn’t a bad […]

HI EVERYONE! OR PERHAPS I SHOULD SAY, “HI, YA’LL,” AS MY SOUTHERN NAME CONNOTES. No matter which salutation you prefer, I’m quite pleased to meet you. I’m Scarlett, and I am one of the co-founders of Rhyme & Reason Design. It’s hard to think about what I was doing before R&R, but one thing’s for […]

Unless you’ve sworn off technology for the past few years (in which case, thanks for reintroducing yourself to the world by reading the R&R blog), you’ve likely heard that video content is essentially manna from heaven for brands and marketers. Beyond the obvious reasons — people don’t like to read anymore and human attention spans […]

I just read an article about why we shouldn’t call email marketing initiatives eblasts. The author explained that no one wants to be blasted with anything, let alone inbox shrapnel. Valid point. But really, email marketing is a really long phrase to type out, and at some point it’s going to go to the buzzword […]

When it comes to successful marketing, planning matters. In fact, we’re willing to go so far as to say that, without a plan, your efforts won’t be as effective. From posting on social media to building a website, having a plan of attack will ensure you are meeting your objectives and ready for the ups […]

A bad meeting can suck the life out of your day, but every so often a meeting can inspire you to go out and conquer the world – or at least stop procrastinating on that one project. Here at Rhyme & Reason, I won’t say that we love meetings – honestly, who does? – but […]

A new year always inspires me to declutter and refresh, especially with the approach of springtime. I clean out closets and cabinets, puzzle over how I acquired a basket full of mismatched socks, organize my office files and toss expired coupons. I love the fresh and simplified start of spring each year. In the last few […]
